Clarke's Commentary on the BibleBut save his life - His body thou shalt have permission to afflict, but against his life thou shalt have no power; therefore take care of his life. The original, נפשו שמר naphsho shemor, may be translated, keep his soul; but the word also signifies life; yet in the hands of the destroyer the life of this holy man is placed! How astonishing is the economy of salvation! It is so managed, by the unlimited power and skill of God, that the grand adversary of souls becomes himself, by the order of God, the preserver of that which the evil of his nature incessantly prompts him to destroy! Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Behold. See on Job 1:12 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only on himself put not forth your hand... but. or, only. save. Job 38:10,11 And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors... Psalm 65:7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. Luke 8:29-33 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him... Luke 22:31,32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat... 1 Corinthians 10:13 There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful... Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried... Revelation 20:1,2,7 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand... his life. By naphsho, 'his soul,' Maimonides understands 'his mind,' or intellectual powers. Job 2:6 Parallel Commentaries
